The seemingly unshakeable principle of any bench in public space has always been based on its clear linearity. Accordingly, sitting in public space is reduced to a more or less voyeuristic or simply relaxing way to pass time. Communication, if at all, occurs in twos; an encounter beyond this dual system is not intended here. Yvonne Fehling and Jennie Peiz counteract this apodictic hermeneutics with the diametrically different concept of their Chairstoolbench. Here, facing each other and passing time together is the order of the day. People sit together, talk to each other, and together enjoy what is going on around them.
